OBLIGATION 03:18
lyrics
buy track
You stand there With a perfect smile On your unhurt lips And stale eyes You stabilize So no one realizes How many lies You've told And you're growing colder As you get older But before you fall You'll teach them all That it's not hard To disregard A knife in the heart I see you leaning on your shacks of red Like you can't decide to be alive or dead But nobody cares about how you feel At the site of a murder in an open field You're a despicable individual And your rituals are visceral Without a frown you watch them drown In your molten crown, a golden sea Made up of thirty pieces and whitened teeth If they don't wanna swim then you won't let them in You drown them in your sin And that's why I'm gonna throw them a line I hear you screaming at the ocean blue That if somebody's to blame, it isn't you But while you complain about the rising waves The dead are rescuing your sinking slaves Why are you still roaming free? Take responsibility For your love of the third degree Your murderous ignorance is killing me Do you see me bleeding on these shacks of red Somewhere halfway between alive and dead? 'Cause I hear you're drowning in an ocean of blue And as our lives fade away, I'm still blaming you

PIT 02:19
lyrics
Into the mouth of madness, into the dark I run To you Even in the depths of my sadness, out of the night I call For you Out of the empty nightmare, out of the earth I'm drawn To you Into the mouth of madness, through the abyss I call For you Can you hear me?

ACOLYTE 06:32
lyrics
Your bones are the same as mine Your robes have not been sanctified A dying notion's all that's left inside You're no better than I But I know you can purify me It's a long road to security I'm not looking for stability You'll see, that's not what I really need I need you to lie to me Only you can set me free I need you to, tell me something Tell me something I can believe I think that I could see your point of view And I could show you a thing or two A little sinning would be good for you I think you want to Your frail body's overpowering And it could cure me of this poisoning Oh, I would give the world to hear you say Follow me, I'll give you everything I need you to lie to me Only you can set me free I need you to, tell me something Tell me something I can believe And every single word she said is running through my head And it might kill me I need someone to show me Show me how to live I wanna believe I wanna believe in you, so tell me something That I wanna believe

INTENTION 06:31
lyrics
buy track
On the edge of the invented Do we bleed the beat and broken to show There is no room for weakness And the only true incentive Is your personal existence, we know The injustice to the speechless So take your hate Take your mistakes And turn it into love Take all your fears And lay them here We'll turn them into love To the underrepresented: Your pain is what will make you strong So long as you are in control; But now that you've repented You've been living with the sickness for so long You'll be fighting for the right to your soul So take your hate Take your mistakes And turn it into love Take all your fears And lay them here We'll turn them into love Look to the light Look to the light and see me Look to the light Look to the light and see my face

PLAGUE DOCTOR 05:36
lyrics
No plague will penetrate me No blisters, scars will ail me I'll treat the sickness, I'll kill the darkness in your mind These bones will never ache me Black death will never take me I am the science, I am the saviour of mankind Look upon my face Cure without a trace Secrets in my skill Power to save and kill These are the hands of healing But now my work's revealing Your fate is written, Your time on earth is near its end Don't fear, I will not bleed you Your faith is all you need to, To face the blackness Now is the time to make amends Look upon my face Cure without a trace Secrets in my skill, I have the power to save and kill Look into my eyes There is hope in lies Take your final breath Sink into your death...

NEOPHYTE 04:33
lyrics
Did you get what you deserved? Did you come back down to Earth? Can you hear it call your name? It's watching you from the shade. Are you deep down in your hole? Are you safe when you're alone? Here's a pill that you must swallow. Here's a God that you must follow. Can you hear it call your name? It's watching you from the shade. [Revelation 13:1 [NLV] Then I saw a beast rising up out of the sea. It had seven heads and ten horns, with ten crowns on its horns. And written on each head were names that blasphemed God. 2This beast looked like a leopard, but it had the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion! And the dragon gave the beast his own power and throne and great authority. 3I saw that one of the heads of the beast seemed wounded beyond recovery—but the fatal wound was healed! The whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast. 4They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power, and they also worshiped the beast. “Who is as great as the beast?” they exclaimed. “Who is able to fight against him?” 5Then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against God. And he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for forty-two months. 6And he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God, slandering his name and his dwelling—that is, those who dwell in heaven.a 7And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation. 8And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life... that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered. 9Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.]

ELEGY [FOR A WORLD ON FIRE] 03:33
lyrics
Can you smell the ashes Hanging in the air Do you remember the world on fire? I still see flashes Of the colour of your hair In the dying embers of a world on fire. When it all collapses, And you're still waiting there, Will you remember when the world was on fire? When our world was on fire.

BAPTISM 05:20
lyrics
In this city there's no place for me, Or this prodigal daughter I used to believe A trail of sinners awaits my shoes And I never ever thought it'd lead right back to you I met the Devil at the border line And left all of my earthly possessions behind Just to find, in my mind, a fundamental truth And I never ever thought it'd lead right back No, I never ever thought it'd lead right back No, I never ever thought it'd lead right back to you Now there's no longer any place to hide It's just you and the phantoms you brought to your side And in the middle is the line you drew And I never ever thought it'd lead right back, No, I never ever thought it'd lead right back, see All I ever wanted was to be someone that you wanted And the only thing I wanted from us was you. [IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL]

BODY + SOUL 08:15
lyrics
YOU CAN'T FIGHT IT WHY WOULD YOU DENY IT? WHAT WILL YOU BECOME? WILL YOU COME UNDONE? HURT YOURSELF, YOU LIAR TEACH YOURSELF COMPLIANCE PRACTICE YOUR DEPRIVAL PRAYING FOR YOUR REVIVAL IF YOU WANNA LIVE, YOU FIRST MUST DIE DIE TO THE FLESH, IN WHICH YOU LIE YOUR BODY IS ONLY A HOME FOR YOUR SOUL SO TEAR IT TO PIECES, AND BUILD A NEW HOME YOUR BODY AND SOUL YOUR BODY AND SOUL YOU'LL NEVER BE WHOLE IN YOUR BODY AND SOUL
